Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:13:16 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194619#comment-2633630Prison sentences don’t cure drug addictions. Drug addictions are cured by someone deciding that they have a problem and wanting help. They are cured with willpower, compassion, effort and love. Addiction isn’t a weakness, it is a sickness. Jimmy Smith doesn’t need a prison cell, he needs rehab. Hopefully he uses this time to clean up and get his life straight, but cocaine addiction is no joke.

What is more concerning is the gun charge, but lord knows that suggesting someone hopped up on cocaine shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a gun will get the NRA element too riled up since guns don’t kill people, Aaron Hernandez kills people.

A slap on the wrist or threatened long prison term isn’t going to detour these guys because they judges and the system will give them unlimited chances.

I hope he gets his life in order, a drug habit ain’t easy. Luckily I don’t know from experience.

Certainly you are referring to the Parcells era and not the Raymond Berry Pats, where they limped into the playoffs as 3rd in the division…..

Regardless, both teams were much better run than the modern day Pats-Chumps, Parcells won with class and dignity, unfortunately as many of his traits did rub off on belli-chump, those 2 critical ones never took!

Tue, 02 Jul 2013 16:29:43 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194619#comment-2631863So he gets what looks like a 5-year prison sentence which is changed to house arrest and he’s eligible for parole in one year? No wonder crime is so bad in this country.

It reminds me of one of those Naked Gun movies where they did the lineup at the end of the movie and one of the guys was given a 500-year prison sentence but he was eligible for parole in 24 months.

Do they really think giving him house arrest will help him kick his drug habit? I know someone who was battling these demons and she didn’t finally straighten her life out until she spent a year in prison. She decided it wasn’t worth it anymore. Somehow I see Jimmy thinking that they won’t do anything to him so why stop?

If we’d let people damage themselves, we’d have more families together, believe it or not. It’s community and family that helps someone, not an overbearing, crushing privately-owned prison system, the largest per capita in the world.

And this is a free country?

Strong words for a fan of a team that hasn’t accomplished a thing up until a little luck on a 6th round QB. But I digress.
